How to use this slide deck
There are some slides in this template that use a different colour palette. We suggest that if your presentation is short, using colours other than blue is not necessary. If the presentation is long enough to be broken up into clear sections, however, we encourage that the sections are also defined by their own colours. Please do not intermix different coloured slides in a single section, it just makes it look messy and unclear. We ask that in all cases, your opening and closing slides are still in the default blue.
We strongly advise that text is as limited as possible across the board. It is, generally speaking, much more engaging to the viewer if the slide shows only key points / images / graphics, and the explanation is done entirely verbally. If the session is long and information heavy, or you just want the viewers to take as much in as possible, it may also be useful to send more detailed thoughts on the subject matter in document form before / after the presentation.
Changing backgrounds
The background image of the title slide is set by the following YAML arguments:
Otherwise background images are set by adding attributes to section headers, like ## Test {background-image="path_to_image.jpg" background-opacity=0.25}.
The opacity may need to be adjusted depending on the brightness/contrast of the selected image.
Images / graphics
You can replace the images in this template with the path of the image relative to the .qmd file.
Otherwise images can be imported directly from an Internet library like Unsplash.
Warning
n.b. always credit people as you would want to be credited!
Background images
The variability among living organisms from all sources, including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems.
